SHAYLA ANGELINE BONIELLO, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 20th District Court Milam County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 26,228
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Shayla Angeline Boniello, appeals an order denying her application for writ of habeas corpus for a reduction of a pretrial bond. On November 13, 2020, the State filed a motion to dismiss the appeal because appellant entered a plea of guilt to the offense of capital murder and the trial court sentenced her to a lifetime of confinement without the possibility of parole. Appellant's plea renders this appeal moot. See Martinez v. State, 826 S.W.2d (Tex. Crim. App. 1992) (holding that an appeal challenging the denial of a pretrial application for writ of habeas corpus becomes moot when the appellant is convicted of the underlying offense before the appellate court rules on the writ). The State attached a copy of the judgment to its motion. The motion has been on file with this court for 10 days and appellant has not filed a response.
Accordingly, we dismiss appellant's appeal as moot.
PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Christopher, Wise and Hassan. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
